VPS - Slow Joomla Installation

[Dybbuk]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies.

Matt:

What does the load look like on your VPS at the time when you launch the install?

Static pages load quickly enough... the Joomla installation did not seem especially slow. However, from the first load it was slow. I've been debugging the site and here's a snippet of the load times today (Joomla index.php):


14:00 GMT - Application afterRender: 13.911 seconds, 6.71 MB
21:00 GMT - Application afterRender: 1.132 seconds, 6.75 MB
23:20 GMT - Application afterRender: 59.496 seconds, 6.63 MB
23:50 GMT - Application afterRender: 140.520 seconds, 6.75 MB (!!!)

I think 15-20 seconds is a typical load time, although at 9pm all pages were pretty fast for a while.

Have you looked at the network connection between you and the server/ Perhaps running a traceroute would reveal a problem.

Yes, 173ms and no missing hops. Seems fine. I think this is a MySQL server problem or maybe just the VPS itself...?

I think the VPS is a poor choice for anything but a static site.

It would seem so at this point...

Check to see the server status through the NetStatus Monitor

Checked and the server is in the red (or pink), showing a 5 second delay.
